Philosophy

College consulting is not about me—it’s about the student. My philosophy has always been to meet each student where they are, tailoring a highly individualized plan that works for the student. Rather than replacing the student voice, I act as a sounding board and guide throughout every stage of the process. Whether you are a 9th grader looking to find your passion or a 12th grader stressed about your supplemental essays, I will make sure both you and your family feel supported at every step.
